Best coffee and restaurant spots

Deakin Downtown is located in Collins Square, home to numerous cafés, restaurants, and retail offerings. Recommended cafes and coffee destinations are Higher Ground and Three Drops Coffee & Sandwich. Here’s a handy list of best coffee destinations in Melbourne to boot!

Activities

In terms of things to do, we have shortlisted some activities with an emphasis on physical activity. Whilst in Melbourne, take a free, self-guided, or paid walking tour. The Tan Track and botanical gardens are nearby and popular. Melbourne can be seen by a River cruise, or you can even hire out a boat or kayak yourself.
